I asked about this some time ago. I think these days the RTEMS 
application is always loaded by a boot loader (GRMON). If the data copy 
is really necessary, then an application can still add this step as a 
very early system initialization step, since boot_card() and the system 
initialization loop doesn't use global data (only read-only and BSS 
data). However, the SMP startup would still not work in this case. A 
boot loader is a better place to load the sections.
